The Bible Reflects Strong Affinities With Empire

The failure of empire seems to be a dominant theme, at least maybe in the Deuteronomyistic history and some of the prophetic books. So there are ways in which you're seeing some signals of we could embrace the concepts and the form of empire and make it work. The other reason which I think what the Bible is suggesting is God as the ultimate emperor who will do good in the world,. Because the human ones are problematic. It's like just get rid of the awful human constructs or the human actors and replace it with a divine one and everything will be fine.
